It’s a popular bottle, the Longrow 18. So much so, it generates one of our famous Dramface pile-ons, with Earie, Mike, Drummond and Murdo all reviewing their own annual editions. Perfect.

An homage to the past from Bruichladdich; their unabashed, self-indulgent celebration of a twenty-five year long renaissance. Nick, Murdo and Ramsay step up to review the new 10yo Old Skool.

Nick and Hamish team up for a dual review on a 10yo Glasgow released by RMW in 2025. Once more, we find ourselves appreciating a brilliant new spirit - and brilliant design too.

Three of the team hark back to Christmas vibes as they each, independently, happen upon a Signatory 100º Proof Exceptional Cask Glentauchers. As is typical with Dramface, it divides opinion.

In far flung places, it can be costly to sate the desires of a whisky chaser, shipping trans-global style. But when Abbey dropped a North Star Ardnamurchan, Nick and Calder both went for it.

Are auctions coming back to the rational drinker? If so, that appeals to Nick who occasionally stumbles upon bonus bargains to assist the shipping costs, like this vintage Glen Garioch gem.

Introducing ‘Myrtle’: 2025’s latest Ardnamurchan Midgie Release. This time using a few port casks, she’s a charmer. Four of the team line up to introduce themselves. No repellent required.

Prompted by lifestyle, environs and a recent piece by the youngest of the Dramface crew, Nick goes offline and takes time to appreciate life’s more contemplative pleasures; like Longrow Red.

A memorable label was etched into Ogilvie’s mind & one day he finally found a St George’s Baller; an American ode to Japanese whisky. Therein he discovers one of his most challenging pours he’s ever tried.

Despite appearances, we don’t put real effort into giving Macallan a hard time at Dramface, the truth is, they’re taking care of things themselves. Nick throws a huff at The Harmony Rich Cacao.

A nice segue on from yesterday’s article, Nick thinks about age statements with Ardnamurchan’s latest USA exclusive ArdnAmerica release. Cue NYC backdrops & deploy the Doog!

Tracing back his Ardmore love to when he was an (illegal) teen, Nick compares two modern takes from industry insiders turned indy bottlers: James Eadie and The Firkin Whisky Co.

Continuing our quiet nod to Ardnamurchan's 10 years making whisky, Nick chimes in with a 5yo oloroso Single Cask Nation bottling. But would he invite it to dinner?

Warning. Nick will likely score this harshly. After a life-changing Ben Nevis epiphany, nothing has matched since. Tyree steps in to help on this Blackadder Ingelred 18yo.

Dramface: Who’d you like to collab with on the Longrow: Broddy, Nick, Ogilvie, Tyree, Aengus or Calder?
Eallair: “Yes”.
An epic Dramface collective review on an iconic bottle.

We all love a bargain, but Nick takes extra pleasure when this Costco Kirkland Islay bargain punches above its weight and proves a popular choice for befuddling his blind tasting pals.

In celebrating their local wildlife, Ardnamurchan decided to fly with the Midgie. So despite bearing the name of Scotland’s most hated creature, it still proves popular as a swarm of us gather to review it.

Upon discovering this bottle received a near-perfect 99 points at the IWSC, Nick dives in to see what all the fuss was about. You know what he discovered, don’t you?
